Klickitat County had more COVID-19 cases in August than in all of March to July combined. County Public Health Director Erinn Quinn says the County had 326 COVID cases reported for August, the largest monthly number for the entire pandemic, as the Delta variant circulates and passing easier from person-to-person. Quinn said Klickitat County’s vaccination rate is still only a shade under 40 percent, leaving a majority of the County’s residents vulnerable to the virus. Quinn said the County’s two hospitals…like most of the country, are feeling the pressure of high case counts, and they are having a hard time finding higher levels of care for patients that need it.
